Default Need help! TIG Welder in sydney?

Hi,
i need someone to weld a fitting to the end of a fuel rail. afaik the rail is aluminium and and if its done with a mig wont stick. i could probably get access to a tig via a hire place but cant weld it myself so i was after any sort of welding places where i could get it done?
i have the fitting and fuel rail just gotta stick it together :(
im in inner west sydney.

Cheers.

isnt it... you just need the aluminium welding material because im pretty sure you can still weld aluminium with a mig...just uses different gas unless you get the one with flux and welding material

To weld aluminium you'll want a welder with alternating current.
